Westport has been named one of three middle school athletic hubs for the district. There is a five-year plan to upgrade our facilities, allowing us to host a variety of athletic events. Our baseball field is almost finished, and a softball field will soon follow. We are adding boys' and girls' soccer teams as well as contact football teams this year. Our field and track will be renovated with bleachers, and a concession building will eventually be constructed.
